Indelible book #4 in the Grant County series has been my least favorite. In Karen Slaughter's style, the book opens up, and almost immediately, we are thrust into the action when armed bandits invade the police station of Grant County. She takes us on a journey to the past, explaining how Jefferey and Sara's love story began. I didn't find it much of a love story. Jefferey is the town playboy and a reformed bad boy. It is almost annoying because it is a trope of the good girl falling in love with the bad boy.
I love all of Slaughter's books so far but this one lacked the pace of the previous ones. I still enjoyed it and liked finding out some of the back story to Jeffrey but due to the switching between the two time lines, I felt like the suspense wasn't as consistent as all of the other books. Still a good read though! :)
